Greetings Everyone!

The Winter Update (v2.5) is out on time and it is now available for download on Steam.

Please make sure that you update to the latest version in order to access multiplayer via Steam (auto-updater).

Refer to the following detailing the announced features: Winter Update

Custom Lords and Trails 

As part of the update, the developers also include two tools - "Castle and CPU Lord Editor" & "Custom Trail Maker", which are available on Steam as a standalone application each. Much like our published editors hosted here on SHN, you can customise the existing AI Lords, as well as create your own Skirmish Trails consisting up to 50 missions. These are also added Steam Workshop functionality to share and access your content with other players.

Firefly Studios also implemented / borrowed some custom castles (like Evrey's Improved Castles from the UCP) for starters.

In order to access the editors, make sure to tick "Tools" in the Library filter:

Spectator Mode

Originally another UCP feature, Firefly implemented a spectator mode that lets you watch a cage match as the player, as the AI lords battle it out between each other.

New Maps and Coop Trail

As usual, Firefly added three new maps to the roster:

  • Oasis Crossing: 600x600 Skirmish map
  • Mind Games: 500x500 Skirmish map
  • Approaching Seas: 700x700 Freebuild map

Additional Changes

  • Extreme trail difficulty: AI Lords start the mission with their castles pre-built.
  • Pinging option in multiplayer matches by Alt+P: this sends a blip on the minimap, which can be clicked to place the view on the exact location.
  • The Sultan now hires Slaves for filling in enemy moat.
  • The Jewel starts harassing with fewer knights.
  • Various bug fixes covering missions, AI behaviour (such as the CPU incorrectly destroying his buildings when moat & drawbridges seal off its domain) and units.

Have fun with the new patch and editing, my lord! 🙂

    • Not Able to Download Game or Update Via Steam

      I'm trying to download Stronghold Legends on Steam and I'm having some issues. It first started with an update (which @ Sir Windows worked out might have been the post October update after Halloween) and I get one of two responses. One is attached below, the other is a could not connect style error. I know there are some options I haven't tried, but what I have done so far: Clear download cache (more than a few times) Login/out of steam (a few times at least) Hibernat

    • Content Highlight - the Lost King Campaign Legends Edition

      Hello, good Lords and Ladies! It's to my pleasure to bring light to a custom Legends mission pack: The Lost King campaign by @ IgnasheunKnight ! Originally introduced as the War Campaign in Stronghold 2, this re-imagination serves to re-tell a very similar experience with the cast of Stronghold Legends. Controlling Sir Bedivere, you must work your way through hostile Ice and Evil lands either to restore the rule of King Arthur, or to show your might as the ultimate ruler over Europe.

    • How about Stronghold Crusader Definitive Edition?

      Hey, guys, check this out?   Age of Empires Definitive Edition   It looks really cool to me, and in the matter of fact - far batter than many of those HD editions of many games, even Stronghold Crusader. I mean, this isn't only about enabling higher resolutions, and making the game to look better on wide screens and laptops, this is, as they say, almost all new or remastered textures, and improved mechanics. At least so they say.   So then I though, it would be awesome to have a Definitive Ed
